Gaia Favorites Released
Okay, Gaia Favorites is now live. First release includes basic feature to organize entries and search favorites by name, hashtags, and item names found in the avatar favorites. It's kind of fun to search by color, or animal and see what's out there.

I want to have a landing page that shows the most popular styles once we have enough favorites on Gaia. That should be pretty interesting also.

Some of you might be wondering why am I releasing Gaia Favorites after my return. The reason is because 70% of the work was already done. I made most of the feature 3 years ago before I entered the Tentacl project. A lot of things happened during that time and I needed to take a break. It wouldn't be right to release a feature if I wouldn't be there to bug fix and support it. So the code sat in my folder faithfully until my return 3 weeks ago. sweatdrop

Just found out that we reached 4.2billion virtual items that were granted to Gaia users yesterday. 15 years ago I would never have thought that our little project would build an economy this big. sweatdrop Let's hope that we can bring the inflation down to where things were!

Thank you so much for caring about the economy & the hyperinflation problem that arose in your absence. It's nice to see you back, and working your touch on the kinds of things us oldbies love about Gaia, once again. <3

I have gradually gotten hang of the new Favorites feature, it felt fun to play around with! Thank you for developing it!

Congrats on 4.2 billion items granted! And thank you for making effort to bring inflation down. I do have some ideas/suggestions to share but I decided to wait in case you decided to ask us for it.

Thank you, but can users get an opt out instead of having features forced upon them? Facebook allows you to opt out of public sharing, their games, etc. Why are options taboo on Gaia online yet every other social media is about tailoring to the user's wants?

Sounds like you and your team are taking steps in the right direction. My friends who don't read announcements (just because there is so much of them it has turned into white noise) don't have a clue what's going on with the hearts. Soooo if you could in some odd way weave the new feature into the next event that would be super good.

Keep up the hard work but take the rest you need.

4.2 billion, you say?

That wouldn't have happened to overflow a MySQL integer field, would it? razz

Woooooo! *fist pump* down with inflation! ^-^

I can't wait to see what you do to start helping inflation, and I also can't wait to see what else you do now that your back!

Keep up the good work Lanzer! emotion_bigheart

Also are there any plans to fix the secondary authentication feature? I've been trying to set this up for two weeks and every token is apparently 'invalid' even though I'm doing everything correctly. I've had other friends attempt to set up theirs and they also can't.
